Prospect Protocol Posted on 06-17-2005

Ok I have come to realize that us greeks tend to get stressed out over some of the things that prospects may do or say…simply because they do not know proper protocol. So this thread is for all the greeks to list things that ALL ASPERANTS SHOULD KNOW in terms of proper behavior. (Lets try to keep it simple) I will begin: 1) Do not go to an interest meeting for more than one org…do your research until you know which one is best for you. 2) If you only want to be greek for the following reasons…then this isn’t for you: A.Want to join because you like to step B.Want to get more girls/guys C.Want to become popular/accepted 3) Do not wear and org’s colors to an interest meeting 4) Do not throw up greek hand signs or do the calls 5) Do not go around telling people what org you are a prospect of. 6) Stay away from the words “ I’m gonna be a ________” or “I’m a future________” 7) Do not cut through party walks or brake lines. 'Tis all for now…

Sorry Cnels, I have to disagree with you on this one. Greek organizations are based on loyalty. If a person has submitted to an organization and turns around and pledge another one that person isn't loyal to any organization. I understand what you are saying that people should have other options if they get rejected. I say the option is to either go Grad or just not be Greek at all. The Greek world is a small world and everyone tends to know people in that circle. The Greek world is also about respect. The person that goes and pledge another organization after being rejected will always be known as a person who just "wants to be greek" in those greek circles. There will always be someone who is going to hate on them for doing that! They lose their respect. If you feel like you have always wanted to pledge xyz, why in the world would you go to another organization and submit? That doesn't make sense. It seems like that person is choosing to settle for an org that wasn't their first choice! I feel like that person who does that, isn't loyal to anyone's organization. I don't understand why an organization would take on someone's rejects? You would think that they would be mad at the particular individual who had the audacity to come and submit to them as a SECOND choice. If the org is a second choice would that person even value that organization? Just a thought!
No apologies needed for your point of view. Let's say that you've made it, you're now a member of XYZ Sorority, Inc! Congratulations! Now, two weeks later you find out that one of your line sisters was rejected by ABC. Who would you stand by if a member of ABC started talking trash about your XYZ sister?

I would let them talk about her! For one thing she didn't have any business going from one org to the next! They can call her a Skee-OOP or SKee-Phi, etc..all day long and I would not defend her because she set herself up for that type of ridicule! LOL I know that might sound harsh, but hey that's the truth! LOL

Sounds?! That IS harsh. But you're just speaking your mind. You're about to make me call my prophyte, the De-KAPPA-tator, and ask him how he has dealt with it for the past 10 yrs.

My blood sister, who is older than I am, was a Sigma Sweetheart when she was in school. So I gravitated toward Phi Beta Sigma b/c that's all I knew, until I did my research and realized that their organization wasn't for me. I just woke up! I didn't keep you waiting too long did I? lol
You ol' Sigma wannabe!

Okay, question? What does GDI stand for? Ya'll need to quit using all of these abbreviations like ya'll are texting someone. Does it take that long to spell out the whole word of GDI? ha ha

When you find out what GDI stands for, figure out what BGLO, NPHC, D9, OES, JAPAN & GOMAB stand for also. When you figure out that last one, let me know what it is. lol

If you don't know what GDI means, then you are CLEARLY a GDI in every sense of the word. Do us a favor and stop posting in the Greek forum all together...
